“The words that you will be walking past every day represent the values for which Oliver Tambo stood. These are values that as a foundation we want future generations to embrace and to live by. Honesty, respect, selflessness and courage. These are the values that freed the nation and have the potential to unlock endless opportunities for future generations.”
